Not sure if this has been said anywhere else but I was watching GMTV this morning and someone emailed in saying they were in ireland recently and the Conways already have an album out over there! The email person said surely this contest is for people without a record deal not for ones who want to publicisie themselves in a different country!!!
Plus in any other competition, people who know or are related to anyone involved in the competition aren't allowed to enter - why is this not the same with the X-Factor! I think it is all corrupt - clearly they put people through who their talent scouts have spotted over the years, not just randoms off the streets as they seem to claim!!!

Same goes in the world of book publishing. ANYONE can get a book published if they are prepared to pay for it themselves. This is known in the trade as vanity publishing.
Makes me laugh all this Walshie matey thing, he has not signed them despite knowing them for years, surely that speaks volumes, these girls just cant take the hint.
No doubt this will at least boost their career in Ireland, but I don't think anyone in this country is going to want to know now.
:eek: Why
Because they're friends?
Tone deaf?
The X factor is a joke with louis anyway. Two of my friends from ireland whoused to be in a fairly well known boy band in ireland a few years back were owed a favour by louis last year so he actually rang them and told them to utrn up to the auditions. When they got there one of the researchers asked who were louis' people at which point three quarters of the room stuck up their hands. after the guys had performed they were told that they were going to be told that the judges weren't sure and to argue back with them so they'd be put through. The lads decided it wasn't worththe hassle so when they were 'doubtful,' they picked up their stuff thanked them and b*ggered offf- something to this day i'm proud ofthem for doing. Never owe louis walsh anything is the one thing i've witnessed over the years. Louis has an ability in ireland to make or break careers because he is caught up with so many media figures.
i'm so glad that finally people are seeing him for what he is - an arrogant, pathetic little man who will never be the mr big man in england that he wants to be coz eberyone here sees him for what he is.
Because they are a small-time, nothing special band who
are fine for background music and a bit of dancing at a wedding but will never be really serious artists.
Perhaps they wanted to guests to go home early

I agree. It's not my cup of tea, but it's not really bad. They would do better singing their own stuff on the show.
The picture on the album cover makes the blonde one look like the lead singer. Is she the actual lead singer? Has Simon changed their dynamic in the wrong way by making the sour faced one the lead singer
Very interesting - I used a similar ploy to get seen myself at the private auditions and it worked a treat! I told the production staff at the sign-in desk that a certain X Factor Executive had told me to attend and they let me through straight away. I only had to wait a very short time before being seen despite turning up after everyone else! Incidentally, before my audition, I did toy with the idea of saying the same thing to the panel but decided against it as I'd already had my theory and some of the stories I had been told about the process, confirmed. Had I continued with my ploy, I wonder how far I would have got?!
Finally, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Conways had been told to do the same by Louis Walsh. One minute, they were on their own path with their album and appearances with such people as Tabby, the next, they had dropped everything to go on the show. Given their past history with Louis, what are the odds that their selection was entirely random from 75,000 people?
